There is an amazing of fine, solid quality compact digital cameras on the market today. And there are lots of camera models to choose from. First of all, here are the features that we like to see in compact digital cameras. Here is our list of required features:

* At least 3 megapixels

* Costs under $300

* Has at least a 3X optical zoom

* Can run on AA batteries

* Produces high quality, sharp photos

So with that criteria in mind, when you look over the compact digital camera field there are three models that meet or exceed these requirements and are often found on the top of most compact digital camera reviews by both consumer websites and consumers themselves.

1. The Canon Powershot A510 is an incredible camera for the money. It also runs on AA batteries and can be expected to provide around 300 shots per set of batteries.

2. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5 is a 5 megapixel camera that features an extra large LCD screen at 2.4 in. which can be very nice for those that can use a little more screen size. It’s optical zoom is adequate providing a 35mm focal length equivalent of 38-114mm.

3. The Kodak EasyShare Z700 is another fine compact digital camera with 4 megapixels that boasts an optical zoom of 5X which translates to an effective 35mm lens length of about 35-175mm. This Kodak model comes in around $240.

Any serious listing of compact digital camera reviews should include all three of these models and rate them highly overall.
